A Storyboard Layout

Hello, this is Anupama Choudary and I have a fun tutorial on how to create a story board layout. I clicked tons of pictures one afternoon when my kids were playing with an empty XL carton. I got some interesting shots but did not know how to present them on a page in an interesting way.

My husband is an actor and I have always been fascinated by the concept of storyboarding. A Storyboard is a series of still images displayed in sequence with a rough dialogue to test if they are working effectively together. They are used mostly in motion pictures and animation. An example of a Spaghetti Western storyboard is -

I built up a sequence of the pictures to tell a Knock-Knock joke on my page-

Often storyboards include dialogues and arrows that indicate movement. I used the same idea to unfold the events on my page.

I improvised the Knock-Knock joke to fit in with the pictures on my layout.

Once I had replicated my storyboard on my scrapbook page, I added the finishing touches and embellishments to enhance it.
